About this album

Rhino (1992) Released: 25 Feb 1992 11 tracks (52:33)
Album Description
Pantera: Philip Anselmo (vocals); Diamond Darrell (guitar); Rex (bass); Vinnie Paul (drums).
Recorded at Pantego Sound Studio, Pantego, Texas.

With a rougher image and a more focused, aggressive sound than in their hairspray and spandex days on an independent label, Texas natives Pantera made a serious dent in the heavy music scene with the major label release of COWBOYS FROM HELL, which inspired radio play and MTV support. While Metallica and Megadeth were watering down their approach for a more mainstream sound, Pantera got harder with VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER.

From the moment vocalist Phil Anselmo screams his first “Revenge!” in “Mouth for War,” the stage is set. Drummer Vinnie Paul showcases relentless technical prowess thrashing out complex double-bass drum patterns in “A New Level” and “By Demons be Driven,” while guitarist Diamond Darrell’s seemingly endless supply of hard-grooving, blues-inspired hooks are the heart of “No Good” and “Live in a Hole.” In the emotional power-ballad “Hollow,” the song’s protagonist faces the heartache of having a friend trapped in a coma; and just as in the epic “Cemetery Gates” from COWBOYS FROM HELL, Anselmo continues to struggle with the consequences of fate and the will of the world.

    Many metal bands write ballads.Overall i think this has some killer songs,like with Mouth for War,Fucking Hostile,but some songs are weak.The first half is good,then it kind of drags.

    They have a rock ballad here titled "This Love". ROCK BALLAD. What kind of actual metal band writes a fucking ballad in their albums? Also, "Mouth of War" and "Fucking Hostile" makes this a worthwhile listen. Otherwise it would be complete shit.

    @Soundservant: nice use of Josh Homme's word haha. That dude is definitely a cocksmoker, this album is fucking awesome

    Overrated, but still nice - CfH has better songwriting etc. though. And sorry, but Walk is the worst "metal hymn" ever.
